Murphy

Fist Murphy is a human Flaming Fist fighter stationed at the entrance to the Basilisk Gate Barracks in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate. He is balancing on one leg, as a punishment for stealing a purse from the evidence room.

“

Shh. I just have to last... a little longer.

Involvement

The party can talk to him as he is balancing on one leg, in which he will explain that he stole a purse from the evidence room and promised never to do it again. Blaze Liara Portyr didn't believe him and commanded him to stand on one leg until she did.

If Florrick is executed, he will suddenly feel like his punishment is not so bad after all.
